Another midterm worry for Biden White House: probes and impeachment attempts

The U.S. midterm elections are some 10 months away, but President Biden's administration and allies already foresee a possible scenario in which Republicans take the House of Representatives, the Senate, or both, and launch a series of investigations and attempts to impeach the president.

It hired a special advisor, former New Orleans Mayor Mitch Landrieu, to oversee implementation of the $1 trillion infrastructure law, which Republicans would likely scrutinize in search of fraud.

"They’ll subpoena everything under the sun," said Richard Painter, former associate counsel under Republican President George W. Bush.

“We are going to go after this administrative state, and we are going to start at the Department of Justice and the FBI,” Gaetz said, referring to Jan 6.

Some Republicans have already signaled an appetite for impeaching Biden, with a group of four led by Gibbs filing articles of impeachment over immigration on the U.S. border with Mexico and for the way U.S. troops were removed from Afghanistan.

“There will be a lot of this Hunter stuff, and a lot of it is going to be unfair to Biden, and a lot of it is going to be personal,” Painter predicted.

Exactly right! No one wants another clown show.

And let’s be honest: “Impeachment” is a badge of honor ON BOTH SIDES! This isn’t even 50 years ago where RMN possibly getting impeached was the end all be all.

Only if analysis shows it will help us or investigation shows a slam dunk crime we can’t ignore.

The Clinton impeachment, which had a better rationale than any other Presidential impeachment effort in history, did not help us (other than in scaring Al Gore into not using Clinton more during the 2000 election).

I’m not sure whether impeaching Trump helped the rats.
